This depends on whather your car is a mk1 or a mk2, if its a mk1 the key cutters should be able to copy the code from your key. However if its a mk2 you cant get a coded key from a cutting place you have to go to fiat and pay around £100 for a new key. |

 | Re: Broken plastic on key you can just drill a hole in the key to attach the keyring, just be sure to avoid the chip, mine has a hole in the top left of the key, quick fix till u can get a new key.

| | Re: Broken plastic on key yes it does, would be advisable to tell em its chipped, but usually a clued up locksmith will know what ure talkin about. jst make sure u tell em its a mk1 cos mk2's are painful on the wallet to get a new key.
